State Route 79 (SR-79) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah that spans 4.174 miles (6.717 km) in Ogden, Weber County, with another 0.77 miles (1.24 km) consisting of the westbound segment of a brief one-way pair. The route connects SR-126 and I-15 to US-89 and SR-203 as it passes through the center of Ogden on Hinckley Drive and portions of 30th and 31st Streets. The highway was formed in 1957, initially routed from SR-38 (then running on Pennsylvania Avenue) east to SR-204 (Wall Avenue). The highway was subsequently extended west to SR-126 and east to Harrison Boulevard (SR-203).
SR-79 begins at an intersection of SR-126 on the western boundary of Ogden. The highway heads northeast on four lanes of Hinckley Drive divided by a center median, straddling the northern periphery of Ogden-Hinckley Airport. Before intersecting 1325 West the road loses division of its lanes. Passing the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue the road turns east, gains a lane in each direction and intersects at a diamond interchange with I-15. Past Parker Drive the road again briefly turns northeast and climbs onto a viaduct over railroad tracks. The termination of the viaduct begins the one-way pair of SR-79, with 30th Street forming the westbound segment and 31st Street the eastbound segment. The pair continues for 0.5 miles (0.80 km) until reaching Washington Boulevard (US-89), where 31st Street loses state maintenance and SR-79 continues on 30th Street, now a two-way street. The two-lane highway continues east until reaching Harrison Boulevard (SR-203), where SR-79 ends.
